#MovieReview #CityOfDreams #CityOfDreamsFilm #CityOfDreamsMovie Let me begin by sharing that my review of the movie "City of Dreams" might contain spoilers, not because I want to ruin the experience for you, but because this film impacted me so deeply that I was physically affected while watching it. Tears streamed down my face, and I felt nauseous throughout the entire movie. The storyline follows Jesus, a 15-year-old boy who is sold into modern slavery to work in a factory in the United States, where he is subjected to trafficking, labor exploitation, and sexual abuse. Witnessing his journey of being beaten, slashed, and punched without speaking a word throughout the film is heart-wrenching. The actor, Ari Lopez, portrays this role with such intensity and skill that it is truly commendable. This film gripped me so tightly that I found myself wanting to reach out and protect Jesus from the horrors he endured. Despite knowing it was just a movie, I couldn't help but feel a strong emotional connection to the character. The content may be disturbing, but the movie itself, including the acting and storytelling, is exceptional and ranks among the best I have seen. Watching two impactful films in one day, both centered around different interpretations of Jesus, left me in awe of the power of cinema. These were movies I initially overlooked but am grateful I gave them a chance. "City of Dreams" takes viewers on an intense emotional journey, prompting reflection on the harsh realities faced by vulnerable individuals like Jesus. The film sheds light on the atrocities of child and human trafficking, highlighting the importance of standing up against such injustices. It's a stark reminder that abuse and exploitation have no place in society, and it is our duty to protect those who are vulnerable. If you are sensitive to heavy themes or graphic content, "City of Dreams" may not be suitable for you unless you have someone to share the emotional weight with. Personally, I don't think I could watch it again alone due to its intense nature, but I recognize the value of experiencing it with a supportive group.
